The Dimits shift is the shift between the threshold of the drift-wave primary instability and the actual onset of turbulent transport in magnetized plasma. It is generally attributed to the suppression of turbulence by zonal flows, but…
Tertiary modes in electrostatic drift-wave turbulence are localized near extrema of the zonal velocity $U(x)$ with respect to the radial coordinate $x$. We argue that these modes can be described as quantum harmonic oscillators with complex…
Turbulent flows exhibit intriguing energy transfers. In this paper, we compute the renormalized viscosities, mode-to-mode energy transfers, energy fluxes, and shell-to-shell energy transfers for the two-dimensional (2D) and…
Energy transfer mechanisms for vortex shedding behind a 2D cylinder at a Reynolds number of Re=100 are investigated. We first characterize the energy balances achieved by the true cylinder flow -- both for the flow as a whole and for each…

Using electric dipoles to describe light-matter interactions between two entities is a conventional approximation in physics, chemistry, and material sciences. However, the lack of material structures makes the approximation inadequate when…
A wide class of $1+1$ dimensional unitary conformal field theories allows for an explicit construction of nonequilibrium "profile states" interpolating smoothly between different equilibria on the left and on the right. It has been recently…
In this work we show how friction enables a non-linear energy transfer in a slow-fast Hamiltonian system. We first introduce a paradigmatic system consisting of a weakly coupled fast and slow oscillator that gives rise to a non-linear…
We present a local approach to the study of scale-to-scale energy transfers in magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence. This approach is based on performing local averages of the physical fields, which amounts to filtering scales smaller than…
It is well known that any amount of energy injected in a harmonic oscillator which is resonant and weakly coupled with a second harmonic oscillator, tunnels back and forth between these two oscillators. When the two oscillators are…
Electron transfer is an important and fundamental process in chemistry, biology and physics, and has received significant attention in recent years. Perhaps one of the most intriguing questions concerns with the realization of the…
We extend our previous work on the 2D Dimits transition in ion-scale turbulence (Ivanov et al. 2020) to include variations along the magnetic field. We consider a three-field fluid model for the perturbations of electrostatic potential, ion…
We study a moving adsorbate interacting with a metal electrode immersed in a solvent using the time-dependent Newns-Anderson-Schmickler model Hamiltonian. We have adopted a semiclassical trajectory treatment of the adsorbate to discuss the…
